Cloud-Based EV Charging Market Overview and Introduction

In cloud-based EV charging, an EV and a charging station share a data connection and the charging station shares a data connection with a charging operator to monitor, manage, & optimize energy consumption. Also, cloud-based EV charging systems can identify fickle energy production and local electricity consumption to make a better sustainable energy system based on renewable energy sources. There are various benefits associated with cloud-based EV charging. such as ease of finding available charging points, fast charging, cost-effectiveness, safe charging, reduce arguments with neighbors, and others.

Moreover, cloud-based EV charging offers a wide range of features, including a user-friendly admin panel, automatic payments & billing, mobile & web apps for the end-users, roaming, dynamic load management, energy management features, and several others. These features are driving the overall growth of the market across the globe. Furthermore, increasing government initiatives to promote clean energy by giving incentives and tax relaxation for electric vehicle buyers is expected to boost the market growth in the coming years. The server price of cloud networks is continuously decreasing and the increasing awareness regarding benefits associated with cloud-based electric charging systems are propelling the market growth. Economies such as China, the U.S., Japan, Germany, the UK, and other European countries are considered as major revenue generators in this market owing to the extensive adoption of electric vehicles and the latest technologies.  

However, the high costs associated with electric vehicles and the lack of electric charging infrastructure in some geographical areas will limit the market growth to a certain extent.
